Is there a chance it's leaning out and that's why it doesn't feel like its still pulling?

there should be no problem with that power spining that motor to 5500..Like I said I can spin a basicly stock 502 to 5100 with little trim..

So, last time out I hit something... Rock pile. Punched a hole in the hull. $19,000 repair estimate and insurance totaled her if anyone is interested I'm gonna part her out. New interior, motor has maybe 10hrs. Drive was just checked out. I'll get some pics if anyone interested later this week. Still at marina.

Black Baja you could swap everything from yours to mine and keep a Baja .I am thinking about parting out my 88 240 sport, if you want to keep a Baja. mine has been in storage since my drive and motor parts were stolen in 07.I had stripped the interior out to do some custom work. never got done. will sell it without transom set up for 3 grand on a magic tilt trailer drive on. it ran mid 80s with the 509 thats in it. shortie imco.I was going to re do it, but the 28 Saber has sucked the life out of me. I need make up my mind on what to do with that too. thinking of parting it out . ran it for 3 test runs this year a whole 45mins and a 1/2 hour last year.. so if your interested pm me. the 509 might be for sale too, not sure I've got so much chit I should sell but can't seem to do it lol. sorry for your loss of the boat, glad your ok.

I'll send you guys some pics tomorrow. Still gotta go pick it up. Don't really want to look at the boat. I brought that thing back from the dead... Not sure exactly what the next boat will be. But I'm thinking something little bigger cause we have a new addition to the family that should be ready for some boating next summer...

I would check your timing and some easy things first. Sounds like you should be running in the 80's. Be sure you check your O2 reading and fuel pressure also. You may have to upgrade your fuel pickup and fuel system.
